🧠 Did You Know?
India’s longest (or widest) toll plaza is the Khalapur Toll Plaza on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
🚗 With 18+ lanes in each direction, the toll plaza handles over 1.5 lakh vehicles daily — one of the busiest toll collection points in the country.
The massive width helps reduce bottlenecks on one of India’s most vital expressways, which links two of the country’s biggest urban centers.
🛣️ Why Is Khalapur Toll Plaza So Wide?
- The Mumbai-Pune Expressway sees huge holiday, commuter, and cargo traffic.
- Designed to handle surges during peak weekends, festivals, and long weekends.
- Part of the expressway’s plan to maintain smooth, high-speed connectivity despite heavy toll collections.
The toll plaza also supports FASTag lanes, dedicated lanes for heavy vehicles, and is equipped with CCTV cameras and real-time traffic monitoring systems.
📊 Fun Facts
- Khalapur was once a major choke point before FASTag and lane expansions.
- Despite 18+ lanes, long queues can still form during peak hours.
- Similar wide toll plazas exist at Shambhu border (Punjab-Haryana) and Kherki Daula (Gurgaon), but Khalapur is the most expansive by lane count.
🧞♂️ SpotGenie’s Thought Bubble:
